Xiao Yi and Ji Qinglan took Director Luo and his family for a walk in the alley outside. Knowing that Li Miaofang was planning to buy a house here, they didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Mr. Li waved his hand and said he would not go. He had been on the train for three days and wanted to take a break.

Xiao Yi helped him fetch the bath water. There were side rooms in the east and west wings, which were equipped with toilets and bathrooms. Xiao Yi had already prepared a bathtub inside, so it was very convenient to wash.

Mr. Li was very satisfied with Xiao Yi's service and waved his hand to let them go shopping.

When I went out, there was a busy street outside, dim street lights, and pedestrians and bicycles coming and going.

Xiao Yi and Director Luo walked behind, while Ji Qinglan and Li Miaofang walked in front with Ji Xincheng and Luo Hongyu, looking around and getting familiar with the environment of their new home.

Li Miaofang actually saw several small stalls selling things. She was very curious and walked over to take a look.

There are vendors selling wontons, tea eggs, fried melon seeds, and all kinds of exquisite and beautiful hairbands and hairpins...

Li Miaofang was amazed. This was a wonder that could not be seen in the county town.

She didn't dare to ask, for fear of exposing herself.

Luo Hongyu took Ji Xincheng out and soon came back with a bag of pine nuts.

"Mom, godmother, eat pine nuts." In addition to fried pine nuts, there are also sugar-fried chestnuts, but she doesn't want to eat them now. She ate a lot of them on the train, all bought by Jiang Chunhua, who had a good guy card. Now when she sees chestnuts, her mouth reflexively smells of chestnuts.

Sure enough, nothing that comes for free is good.

"You are such a greedy person. I've seen you eat quite a bit at night." Li Miaofang glared at her daughter.

She said that the family had no savings for many years, and look, look, there are two money-eating beasts in the family.

Ji Qinglan grabbed a handful and ate it out of courtesy. Luo Hongyu was not afraid of her mother either, so she took Ji Xincheng's hand and ran away.

Li Miaofang ate the pine nuts her daughter gave her, and complained to Ji Qinglan: "Don't give her money secretly in the future. She spends money lavishly. Without us watching over her, we don't know what she will become."

Ji Qinglan felt that she was really wronged. Apart from giving Luo Hongyu a red envelope of 100 yuan when she was admitted to university, she had never given any money at other times.

Moreover, Luo Hongyu gave her the money to keep, and now the red envelope was just in her system backpack, so it could not be said that it was given by her.

Maybe it was Director Luo or Grandpa Luo who gave it to him secretly.

Li Miaofang looked at the bustling scenes on both sides of the street and whispered to Ji Qinglan.

"With so many people selling snacks on the street, aren't you afraid of getting caught?"

This is a scene that would never happen in a county town. Are they doing it so blatantly now?

Ji Qinglan didn't know how to explain this. Maybe, some things were different now.

After the reform and opening up, these people were the first to try new things. Although they were looked down upon by many people, they made a fortune.

Several people walked all the way to the east gate of Peking University. It only took twenty minutes to get to the east gate from home, which was indeed very convenient.

Li Miaofang was tempted by the house in the perfect school district and decided to ask around with the head of the household tomorrow.

I walked back slowly to digest the food. It was already eight o'clock. The light in Mr. Li's room had been turned off. I guess he had gone to bed. Everyone went back to their rooms to get water and wash up.

Xiao Yi helped Ji Xincheng get hot water and take a bath. He waited until Ji Xincheng fell asleep before returning to the main room in the backyard.

At this time, Ji Qinglan was sitting in the yard, wiping his hair with a towel.

Xiao Yi walked over, took the towel from her hand, and naturally helped her wipe her hair.

"You can't wash your hair at night. It's easy to get headaches when you get older." Xiao Yi wiped it gently while reminding.

Seeing him reminding her again, Ji Qinglan admitted her mistake: "I know, it's just this time, I won't wash it next time; I've been on the train for three days, and it's already smelling."

Xiao Yi was afraid that Ji Qinglan would be cold, so he went to the kitchen to bring a coal stove for her to warm herself up, and he stood behind her and wiped her hair over and over again.

The towel was wet, so he changed to a dry one. He used two towels before his hair was no longer so wet. A breeze blew, and the faint scent of jasmine lingered around his nose, which made Xiao Yi's expression move and his movements became more gentle.

Ji Qinglan sat there obediently, unaware of anything.

"How much did it cost to buy the things? Do you have enough money?"

"More than 300 yuan. I received a month's salary in advance. The large pieces of furniture in the house were all left by the previous owner. I only bought small items such as bowls and basins in the kitchen and bedding." Xiao Yi reported the bill to Ji Qinglan in detail.

Ji Qinglan had long known that Xiao Yi was a good family man who didn't smoke or drink, and was very frugal in his daily life.

"Then I'll get you some more money. A man can't live without money." Ji Qinglan said.

Xiao Yi shook his head, thinking that Ji Qinglan couldn't see, and said, "No, I still have more than 60 yuan. The company has a cafeteria, so lunch is free."

"That's too little. You don't have to think about saving money for us. The family savings are sufficient, and I also have savings. There is no need to worry about finances." Ji Qinglan advised implicitly. There were countless banknotes and hundreds of gold bars in her backpack. Even if Xiao Yi didn't go to work, she could still support him.

Xiao Yi shook his head: "That's enough. I don't have much money to spend. If there's anything missing at home, you can buy whatever you like."

Ji Qinglan found it funny that he himself was reluctant to spend money but asked her to spend as much as she wanted.

This man is so nice.

She didn't want to argue with her about this, so she talked about her elder sister Xiao Qing again: "Let's invite my elder sister and brother-in-law to our house for dinner tomorrow, and return the money she spent on buying the house to her. Otherwise, I won't have time to register for school the day after tomorrow."

Xiao Yi said, "I'm afraid it won't work tomorrow. My brother-in-law is on a business trip, and my eldest sister is too busy at work to spare the time. She said she'll come to see you when she's done with her work."

Ji Qinglan didn't feel disappointed, and just said: "That's unfortunate, we can only invite them next time when we have the chance, but Shuyan lives over there, should we bring him back to live?"

She knew that although Xiao Shuyan was raised under the name of her eldest sister, his household registration was with Xiao Yi. Now that the house was tidied up, she had to let him come home to get acquainted.

Xiao Yi shook his head again: "I reserved a room for him in the front yard. He knows it himself. He has already registered at school and will come back when the holidays come."

"Then wait until he comes over during the holidays. I'll go see if there's anything missing in his room tomorrow and buy it for him." Ji Qinglan nodded. She knew that she came back at a very unfortunate time.

She had a pretty good impression of Xiao Shuyan and Jiang Xu.

"Just do whatever you want. Jiang Xu knows you're back and will come to see you and Jiang Yan tomorrow."

Ji Qinglan nodded slightly and talked about Li Miaofang's plan to buy a house.

Xiao Yi agreed with this and said, "It's a good idea for them to have this idea. I'll ask my childhood friend to come over tomorrow. He knows everything about the situation here, so it would be convenient to ask him for information."

Ji Qinglan's heart moved, he turned around to look at Xiao Yi and asked, "He also helped us find this house."

Xiao Yi nodded: "He is very capable. He helped me find the houses I went to see. It's just that I have to go to work tomorrow and can't accompany you."
